"KAJUS BOVE!" A loud voice was heard, followed by unenthusiastic claps.
A man walked up to the stage and was greeted by an old man in a fancy ceremony robe.The old man shaked this young mans hand and then gave him a rolled up piece of paper.This piece of paper was evidence that he passed his classes and graduated from school. Kajus bowed and thanked the elder several times before he was forced of stage by the old man.
Kajus was extremely happy with life right now! He barely passed the last written exam and if he did not pass it his life would become much harder. He can now enter a clan!
'hmm i wonder which clan i should join, i have a pretty strong body for an 18 year old so i can probably get in an adventure type clan'
'HAHAHA YES finally! I can go on adventures, meet friends, find a hot babe and kill evil orcs!! if this isnt living the dream i don't know what is'
He slowly looked around in search for his family he quickly found them since he was a head longer then everyone else standing at 1.85 cm. He waved and called out for his family
"SISTER MOM DAD, OVER HERE" he yelled.
They walked up to him with big smiles and a happy look in their eyes, they congratulated him and hugged him, Kajus looked over to his sister who stood there with her eyes closed pretending not to be happy, he took a big step and put his arms around the back of his sister and picked her up and hugged her.
"STOP or i will punch you" she screamed garning looks from the others that stood there waiting for their names to be called out.
"but i am just so happy that i graduated" he laughed continuing to hug his sister.
"You are creating a scene!" she yelped until she finally found ground on to stand on again she looked up at his grinning brother and showed a sour face, she turned around and walked up to mom and dad.
His dad Olaf Bove said in a half worried half joking tone " you have to stop doting on your little sister so much! your life is only going to get harder from here on out so you better find a good clan that take care of you"
"Yes i know father but how can i stop doting on my little sister, just look how cute she is."
"She is already 14 years old she has to know difficulties in life or she will grow up becoming a diva! So dont be to protective of her!" his mother said. His mother Dina Bove was a beautiful lady with long black hair and soft eyes, in contrast his father was a brute with a scar on his left cheek and a deformed nose, he has a rough exterior but he is soft as a pillow on the inside.
"yes i guess little Liv is all grown up now" Kajus said with a hint of sarcasm but there was a hint of sadness in his voice, the sadness probably came from how fast his little sister has grown up he just wanted her to be small and cute.
His sister was a "genius" in her generation so a lot of people had high hopes for her, she had really high affinity for magic and she was really smart but in Kajus's eyes she was only her little sister.
Time passed and all the names has been called, Kajus looked around the sea of people in look of his friends and of course his crush. He is going to join a clan and go on big and cool adventures soon so he might not have time to confess to his love!
Kajus walked toward the backside of his crush thinking about what he was going to say. He walked close to her but she didnt notice, he started to panic, he took another step so get even closer to her they where now half a meter close to each other. She finally noticed the large shadow that was cast down on her she turned around slowly and jumped in fright she was only 1.63 cm so her head was the same height as his chest, she started to sweat and yelped.
Kajus was frightened by the yelp and backed off and said in a low tone " uh I-I just wanted to say hi no need to yelp"
in front of her was a big man with pale white skin doused with sweat, his body unmoving like a mountain and his eyes solemn. she was surprised to hear the meek and low tone that came out of this big guy.
"sorry i didn't see you until you where next to me don't think i know you, my name is Isabelle! Have i done something wrong?"
She said in a cute tone.
Kajus got flustered and immediately started to panic he gasped for air and tried to calm down, his legs shaky, his chest pressed on by the weight of a mountain and his mind working in snails pace "Kajus! pleased to meet you!" he yelled loudly. The girl jumped a little.
" I-I mean I want to uh ask you if you want to get to know each other maybe over ale or wine?"
The girl finally understood what was happening, first she thought that she broke some law and that a guard came to arrest her but she finally calmed down "no sorry i am going to the university i cant get married I have to focus on studies!" she said in a firm but apologetic voice, it almost sounded practiced like she has expected that other men would seek her out.
Kajus stood there frozen with a solemn look, he didnt even move a muscle, the girl waiting for a response or maybe a goodbye started to panic after they have stood there for 15 seconds. She finally opened her mouth "Well it was nice meeting you Kajus but my family is waiting" she walked away, Kajus unmoving.
He was finally brought back to reality when a person kicked him softly on the leg "Tough luck, she is the center of the class a lot of guys thirst over her, dont get down in the dumps you will find someone eventually!" a friendly tone was heard.
Kajus smiled dejectedly and muttered "yeah i guess, thank you for bringing me out and your kind words brother"
"hey dont mention it! we friends always stick to each other you know, my sister just turned 17 why dont they two of you get married"
"Dejus! no its your sister i would never!" he said in a solemn tone
"oh well, what clan will you be joining? i will be joining the seaguard clan! I heard they barely do anything and the coin is fine" said Dejus in a probing sense "Well i want to adventure and bring my practice to practical use! so I was thinking the Condottiere's" He said with a glint in his eyes.
"the Condottiere's?! they are just sellswords who do whatever for money they arent to be trusted brother! And dont even start of the danger you will be in! you will also play an active role in the war against the orcs!"
"I have to follow my heart Dejus!"
'your dreams and ambitions are to small Dejus! If you dont want to go on adventures killing orcs and slaying clans for the honor of mankind you are not a man!' he thought as he walked away from Dejus still in a small shock over his choice of clan.
He proudly walked away to his family, he said his good byes to his mom and dad and hugged his sister one last time before he walked off into the deeper parts of the town towards the Condottiere's clan house
